I love to scrapbook, make altered home decor items and create dimensional and paper pieced scrapbook embellishments, especially handmade paper tear bears. If you are looking for 2 page scrapbook layout ideas, I have them labeled by theme. Look in the right column under LABELS and click on the theme you want to see.

Scrapbook Room Craft Studio Sewing Quilting Table

It all started with needing new carpet... I remember telling hubby that I just wanted some cheap carpet, it didn't matter what color, just cheap and clean. After pulling up the old carpet, I quickly realized the ceiling and walls needed a fresh coat of paint. And while I was at it, I may as well freshen up my cabinets and add a quilting /sewing table (even though I have a sewing area in my laundry room) and let's not forget some new storage cabinets! So it began...

I decided to repaint the walls white since my cabinets were going to be pink. My sweet hubby and even sweeter daughter painted the ceiling, trim and walls for me. Then I decided to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint on my oak cabinets. Do you know how hard it was for me to actually paint wood!! It took weeks, well maybe a couple of days, agonizing over whether I should paint my beautiful honey oak cabinets that hubby worked so hard to stain and wax for me seven years ago. But oh baby, let me tell you, I am beyond happy that I painted them with chalk paint and even more happy that I went with pink.

Little did I know that cheap 90 cents a square foot, discontinued, pink indoor/outdoor carpet would turn into all this. Finally six months later, I am moving back into my awesome creative space! It has been so much work but well worth it! I will post more photos as I move back in and get things finished.
